She counted down in her mind.
According to their plan, Liam would be rushing here with Jerome South’s men very soon.
Rence was worried that she might not look miserable enough, so she quickly ruffled her hair even more, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and wiped it on her cheeks.
Sure enough, Rence soon heard the sound of an SUV being driven at full speed. It was getting closer and closer to her.
She quickly extinguished the fire and lay “dying” on the ground…
In the dark, quiet night, the metallic door of the air-raid shelter was forcibly pried open with a bang.
Amidst the moonlight, Flossie saw a tall figure jump down from above. She cleared her throat and was preparing to tragically cry out for help.
But the next second, she heard a voice that completely took her by surprise.
“Flossie, are you okay?”
The cold voice that carried a bit of nerve was so clear yet sounded so unreal in the dark.
Halston?!
How could it be him?!
“1”
Flossie was so confused.
What was Halston doing here in the middle of the night? How should she continue her act with his sudden intrusion?
Halston tightly grasped Flossie’s thin shoulders with his big hands and carefully examined her whole body under the dim moonlight. After confirming that she was not injured, his tightly furrowed eyebrows relaxed slightly.
“Jane South has gone too far! This is unforgivable!”
His cold, stern face, outlined by the moonlight, was so perfect that Flossie could not stop looking at it, as if she was bewitched.
She quickly shook her head and tried to keep a clear head.
“Umm… Mr. Guajardo, I’m fine. Liam will be here to rescue me soon. You can go back now. Don’t worry about me.”
Flossie distanced herself from Halston and said politely.
After all, being alone in a space like this was inappropriate for two people who were about to get a divorce.
But more importantly, Liam will be here with Jerome South’s men to rescue her soon. She had a whole show planned out.
If Halston stayed, or worse, took her way, the show could not go on!
“That no-good pretty boy again…”
Halston’s handsome face turned gloomy. He held Flossie’s tiny face with his long fingers and stared deep into her eyes, as if to see through her.

“Can you explain to me what kind of charm Liam Osborne has? How did he bewitch you to this extent?”
Flossie was frightened by how fierce he looked. She put on a docile appearance and a fake smile. “Well… maybe it’s because he’s handsome? His face confirms to my sense of aesthetics.”
It was merely a random excuse to make Halston leave as soon as possible. “That’s why you can go now. Let him be the hero that saves the damsel in distress. You’re just the ex-husband, so you should stay out of this,”
Halston’s face darkened. He fought back the urge to tear her into pieces.
Haha, because he’s handsome?
He, Halston, was widely recognized as the most handsome man in the entire Beach City. How could Liam Osborne with his influencer-like face even compare to him?
“Shut up!”
Halston could not be bothered arguing with her. He simply swept Flossie off her feet and was prepared to carry her away from the place.
Rence was about to resist when she suddenly sensed an incoming danger. She immediately froze and warned Halston in a soft voice, “Be careful… Halston, don’t move!”
Halston thought Flossie was trying to trick him so she did not take her warning seriously.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.
Looking down, he saw a black snake spitting out its bright red tongue, looking at him menacingly. The snake was about two fingers wide.
“Crap!”
Halston frowned. He could clearly feel the muscles around his ankle becoming numb. He could hardly stand anymore.
He quickly moved Flossie behind him to protect her and said, “I’ll lure it away. You look for a chance to escape!”
“Did it bite you?”
Flossie clenched her fists and said in a tense voice, “The snake has a silver ring around its neck and lives in a humid place, so it should be highly venomous. Stop moving so that the venom won’t spread so fast!”
“Shut up if you want to live!”
Flossie’s voice was so loud that it was giving him a headache.
In his opinion, all Flossie’s voice would do was anger the cold-blooded animal in front of them.
He had no experience in handling snakes, but under the tense situation, the snake would likely attack them again, so he had to do something!
Halston carefully took out his phone and turned slightly towards Flossie who was standing behind him. “Get ready. When I count to three, run as hard as you can!”
Flossie sighed helplessly and said, “There’s no need. It’ll go away soon.”
Based on her past experience, this snake was not actually aggressive. Moreover, it had limited vision and could only sense rapidly moving objects, so the safest thing to do was to stay still.
After the snake confirmed that they were not a threat, it would go away.
However, it was clear that Mr. Halston Guajardo had his own unique insight and did not believe her.
“One, two, three- RUN!”
As Halston finished counting to three, he turned on the flashlight on his phone and shook it in front of the snake, trying to divert the snake’s attention so that Flossie would have an opportunity to escape.
Rence slammed her hand on her forehead and said, “Oh no, oh no, it’s over!”
The black snake was instantly angered. It struck continuously in the direction of the light like a chicken pecking at grain, doing everything it could to bite them.
“You, out of the way!”
In the moment of crisis, Flossie grabbed Halston’s arm and pulled him aside.
Then, a silver gleam flashed across the air. A silver dart pierced into the snake’s neck, severing the snake in two and killing it on the spot!
Everything happened so fast that Halston did not see what happened clearly. He could only feel his head becoming increasingly heavy and his vision becoming increasingly blurry.
Flossie calmly walked forward, picked up both parts of the broken snake corpse and stuffed them into a bag so that the snake’s venom serum could be extracted from them.
She turned to Halston and said, “You’re poisoned. We need to get you to a hospital to cleanse out the venom as soon as possible!”
Halston did not respond. His tall body shakily approached Flossie, his eyes locked onto her.
Flossie thought his eyes looked strange, so she kindly asked, “Can you walk? Do you need my help?”
“I need it!”
Halston’s voice was low and deep. Like a towering mountain, he trapped Flossie firmly between himself and the wall.
His long, strong fingers forcefully raised Flossie’s chin. A strong possessive desire could be seen in the depth of his eyes. “You’re my wife, of course I need you!”
“Halston, there’s something wrong with you. What are you doing?”
Flossie leaned against the wall, not daring to move.
Halston was behaving abnormally!
